Don't know if they're at "live oak" proportions or not (I'm 5-9 and right around 200) BUT: the stronger my legs get, the faster I skate depite my weight (and age). I'm 48 and am often the fastest guy on the ice - or at least in the top 5 - including guys in their 20's.

I love it when I get, "How old are you?" Then, "Holy shit!" 🤣🤣🤣

My pop was a hockey player til his 40s and his back said no more. He played since he was 7 or something. He had giant legs. I remember when he would play the young guys he would be in such a great mood lol.
